I have always fond of Fiat cars since my teenage. In our home, the first two cars were Fiat; the Stile and Punto.

The convenience of a cost-effective AMT (available across the lineup except for the base L variant)

Amazing ride quality – the Dzire glides over potholes and broken roads without a fuss

Things We Don't Like in Dzire

Fit and finish of plastics at some places leave a lot to be desired

Noise insulation could have been better, with lots of engine noise filtering into the cabin

New Z+ variants are a bit pricey

Fine-tuned AMT, but it still can’t match conventional ATs in terms of refinement

The Dzire diesel AMT doesn’t feel smooth in comparison to the petrol counterpart

Launched last year, the Dzire still attracts a long waiting period

Stand Out Features

The flat-bottom steering wheel in the cabin of the new Dzire looks sporty

LED projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights

7.0-inch touchscreen system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

The taillamps of the new Dzire now sport LED graphics

CarDekho Verdict

Though the new Dzire is more expensive than its rivals, the readiness of the platform to meet upcoming emission and crash compliance norms suffices its premium tag.

"The new Maruti Swift Dzire has a convincing sense of premiumness."

So, despite the price and the few wrinkles, Maruti Suzuki’s new Dzire has set the tone for the segment.
